FLINT, MI -- "Trishna," a romantic drama inspired by Thomas Hardy's classic novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" -- set in modern-day India -- is screening this weekend at the Flint Institute of Arts.

Freida Pinto, best known for the Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire," portrays a young woman from a poor, rural district of India who falls in love with the son (played by Riz Ahmed) of a wealthy, English-educated hotel owner. Theirs turns out to be a stormy relationship, as depicted by acclaimed British director Michael Winterbottom ("A Mighty Heart," "The Trip").
